    Here's another funny one:

    '...In the report aired Wednesday night, China Central Television showed a shirtless, shorts-clad bun maker in Beijing using cardboard picked up off the street to stuff his steamed buns.

    'A hidden camera followed the man into a ramshackle building where steamers were filled with the fluffy white buns, called baozi, traditionally stuffed with minced pork.

    'It showed how cardboard was first soaked to a pulp in a plastic basin of caustic soda -- a chemical base commonly used in manufacturing paper and soap -- then chopped into tiny morsels with a cleaver. Fatty pork and powdered seasoning were stirred in as flavoring and the concoction was stuffed into the buns.

    '"It fools the average person," says the bun maker, whose face was not shown. "I don't eat them myself."'

    Yet last I heard the US uses human hair as well, in your pizza..

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,320571,00.html

    U.S. Demand for Human Hair Grows, Used in Wigs, Pizza

    Are you going to rip on the US as well now?

    ---
    BTW the cardboard in the buns was shown to be a hoax a long time ago, a little searching shows the soy sauce one could very well be a hoax as well.

    Source?

    I posted The Washington Post referencing China Central Television.

    What do you have?

    I voted other as there shouldn’t be an anti-China sentiment anyway.

    Feel free to start a new topic about everything wrong with America. You and guerilla can spoon there.

    The Communist Chinese government arrested a reporter who made an embarrassing story. And that makes you suddenly believe that he made the story up? The Chinese government arrests reporters all the time. Jeez, how gullible can 'ya get? :rolleyes:

    Wow is this the best you can do?

    You rip on a country for something that happens here, and have nothing more to say than this?

    Ahh yet you believe the 'communist STATE RUN'

    Of course it's true if it's against China, if it's not against then it must be false.

    Jeez, how gullible can YOU get?

    Your response to the pizza thing shows your true colors BTW. ;)

    Here's another story about Chinese manufacturing that made me laugh:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7370903.stm

    Police in southern China have discovered a factory manufacturing Free Tibet flags, media reports say.
    ...
    The factory owner reportedly told police the emblems had been ordered from outside China, and he did not know that they stood for an independent Tibet.
    ...
    Thousands of flags had already been packed for shipping.

    Police believe that some may already have been sent overseas, and could appear in Hong Kong during the Olympic torch relay there this week.
    ...
    The authorities have now stepped up the inspection of cars heading to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and onwards to Hong Kong.
    ...​

    Of course, it speaks volumes for the state of freedom of speech in China that flags are outlawed.

    I wonder what would happen if a factory in the US started to mass produce flags for Al Qaeda?

    Normally I would be right along side of Anti China, especially on the factory side of things as I do believe their quality is junk. But this is irrational IMO using crap like this as there is an easy explanation, it happens here, or has been refuted.

    There's no need to wonder. We have pro Al Qaeda web sites here in the U.S. We have pro Al Qaeda posters right here on DP. You can buy your Osama bin Laden fan t-shirt and wear it to the gym for your next workout. It will go nice with a turban. You can wear it to your local mosque. Give it a try. You know that the steroids are telling you to. :rolleyes:

    That's a bit different than bulk producing them for Al Qeada now isn't it?

    Steroids? You wish, sorry I bust my ass off, we all aren't fat out of shape slobs like you ;)

    Bigots are like that, they have nothing to say when their bigotry is exposed. :D

    It is not his fault, it is all the fatty burgers that he eats for free at his job in Burger king. :D

    No, it isn't different at all. You can go buy your Osama bin Laden t-shirts in bulk if you like.

    Have fun with that.

    There's a guy who used to wander around Denver in a complete Nazi dress uniform. I'll hook you two up. Perhaps he's single.

    Sure, sure. That explains your recent emotional changes. When you got serious about beefing up, the quality of your forum posts dropped sharply.

    Talking to you know is like trying to have a conversation with an orangutan. You're all testosterone and no cerebration.

    Totally different than bulk producing Al Qaeda flags. How about this, during WWII what would the US have done if someone were to bulk produce Natzi Germany flags?

    Do I think China is as free as the US? Hell no. Do I think your reasoning however is totally sub par? 100% without a doubt.

    Uh huh, so when someone does not agree with you and DEFEATS your argument it's 'emotional changes' and their 'quality' drops sharply. Well if my post quality dropped what is your excuse?

    Still waiting on an answer about the hair in your pizza ;)

    I doubt you'd be able to keep up with the orangutan ;)

    I'll let you know when you've defeated anything. :cool:

    So if you're really not overdosing on steroids, what's your recent issue?

    Does it have anything to do with your vitriolic rants against Mexicans? Are you still angry at them because they are able to drive nicer trucks than you?

    Does it have anything to do with your vitriolic rant against Black and White?

    What's your issue with minorities in America and what does this have to do with your intellectual retreat and testosterone surge?

    Considering your point behind 'hair' being used in food as a reason to blast China was defeated as we ourselves do it, or the hoax of the cardboard in buns I'd say your points were defeated pretty damn good.
    I'll make this so simple that even you can follow.
    One would need to use steroids in order to 'overdose' on them, of which I don't use them ;) Kind of hard to overdose on something one does not use.
    I have rants against Mexicans, really I do? I drive an 08 Hummer also btw ;)
    Ahh pointing out why a guy is a raving lunatic is a bad thing in your world is it?

    I have no issue against minorities.

    I find it an extreme 'intellectual retreat' by you to try to make something into a racist issue. My problem with the 'white on grey matters' has NOTHING to do with race. :rolleyes:

    Nor does my view on illegal immigrants. I don't care if you're German, if you're illegal you're illegal.

    My 'intellectual' retreat, I find that funny as it is you retreating more and more from what I see. Dishonesty and pure crap is all you have ever spewed.

    To bring up 'minorities' and 'steroids' when you've been owned in a thread is simply priceless. Yet you have the nerve to spew such garbage.

    Hint, if you are trully jealous of me being in shape and you being flabby, try hitting a gym ;)

    You know it's that place with the big weights, not usually next to the dairy queen you're accustomed to. Put your gun down for a second, the terrorists wont get you, go into the gym and lift..
